HONORTO WHOM HONOR SDUE.
George Eliot wrote.

"Oh, may join the choir invisible
Ofthose immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence"
The last words of Captain Nathan Hale,
the young martyr spy Of '76, 81 only re-
greet that have but one life to lose for
my country" were used over and over
again with telling effect to induce enlist
ments Of young men during the late civil
war.
In 1776 Captain Hale volunteered to
ascertain the exact strength of the Brit
ish forces after their retreat from Long
Island. While in the discharge of this
perilous patriotic duty he was captured
and hanged in what was then Rutgers
Orchard, just above Franklin Square, this
city. Persistent but vain effort was made
by Washington, and others, to save the
life Of the young hero, and to this day
the name of Nathan Hale is Synonymous
with about all that is pure, noble and pa
triotic in the heart of man.
The society Of Sons of the Revolution
OF this city has deter mined to erect a
bronze statue to the memory of the young
patriot, the cost of which will be about
$1O.0OO.-Ne,o York paper.

ners by actual transgression. So are
children to-day innocent without sin,
till they become sinners by their own
violation Of moral law. Christ recog-
nized this when he said of children,
"Of such is the kingdom of heaven
We are all created in the image of
God. We all have moral sense-moral
sensibilities-and the temptations of
life, if we yield to them, are in us like
the storms in the natural world. The
pleasant equilibrium of nature is dis
turbed. Our passions show themselves
in cyclones in human society, which
are no more its normal condition, than
the cyclone in the physical world. And
these wars or cyclones among men are
the evils which come from the indul-
gence of our passions which belong to
this life. In this way God creates evil.
If we had been made without appetites
and passions, these hurricanes would
not have existed and all these evils in
society would have been avoided. But
the wisdom of God did not so ordain.
We were created subject to vanity-not
because we willed it, but because of
the pleasure of him who subjected us
in hope of being delivered from bond
age to these evils into the glorious
liberty Of the children of God. We
we're not made for this world alone, but
for the heavenly revealed in the
gospel. Moral evil is the means to
an end in the divine government, as
cyclones are in the physical world, and
had its origin in circumstantial way
as they have. Evil is not like the at
tributes of the Father, but that which
must pass away and be destroyed. So
of darkness of every kind. Evil and
darkness must die, and all humanity be
delivered from them forever.

VARIATION IN STATURE.

An article translated from the French
for Popular Science Monthly thus COM
pares large and small men:
The bodily vivacity OF small men is
very much greater than that of large
men. The man of small stature is near
ly always quicker and more alert than
man who is tall and stout in proportion.
This should be evident, for such man
has less weight to displace when he is
moving, jumping or climbing; while it
has been proved by many experiments
on animals, that the strength does not
increase in proportion to the weight.
Two horses, Weighing together three
quarters OF ton can perform much more
work, particularly if it be work involving
rapidity, than single horse having the
same weight. A similar difference exists
in the power of one large and stout man
and two small men. The ratio of muscu-
lar energy to the pound of living weight
is much greater with small or middling-
sized men than with very large ones.

essarily occasions an amplitude in his
motions that makes execution slower.
Length of limb also contributes to
waste of strength. We can compare
the arm, for instance with lever, the
fulcrum Of which is at the shoulder-joint,
the point of action is at the hand, and
the mower in the Tnnaelas II ia avidant
that the larger the arm of this lever is,
the more energetic will the muscular ef-
fort have to be. The large mans power
of endurance is less than that of the mid
dle-sized man, because not only of the
personal weight that has to be carried,
but also on account of the difference in
the proportional development of the res
piratory system.

Frederick Krupp, of worldwide
fame as the cannon-maker, died on July

OF his castings weighing 100000 pounds.
This superiority of methods put his es-

mines. steel factories and foundries re-
quire 10000 workmen, while $4,000 more

fare. Small colonies, stores, hospitals,
churches and schools we're built. The
works cover more than 500 acres and con-
stitute the largest establishment in the
world dependent upon one man. He was
too noble to be honored by letters of no.
bility from any king of Prussia, and hon.

According to the st. James Ca
sette, there has been lately some improve
ment in the condition of the unfor tunate
ex- Empress Carlotta of Mexico. A young
Austrian lady who has been acting as her
dame de comepdgnie for some time past,
and who happens to be an accomplished
musician, sat down to the piano few
evenings ago, after the Empress had re-
tired to her apartments for the night,
and played, among other things, the Mex
lean national hymn. just as she was fin
ishing the last bars the Empress suddenly
appeared at the door Of the room. She
gave a piercing cry, uttered her husbands
name, and fell senseless on the floor.
This is the first indication which she has
given for several years of any reminis-
cence of the terrible catastrophe which
cost her the loss OF reason; and her physi-
clans base favorable anticipations on the
incident.

The famous English bone-setter"
Mr.. Hctton, who died recently Says the
Liverpool Mereury), had no learning
He neither walked the hospitals" nor
ever learned the names of all the crevices
in the human skeleton. Ifhe had had all
the bones Of the human body thrown
down before him he would have been at
great pains to arrange them in order.
Yet trained men sent patients with dislo.
cations to him. He had a knack which
was almost genius for discovering what
was the matter, and he took the strongest,
not to say the most violent, way of put
ting bones together again in their proper
places While the cautious surgeon was
thinking what might safely be done, he
had done it. He was rarely unsuccess-
full where there was only displacement
and no actual disease. His patients were
the most distinguished in the land, and
he shrank from nothing when once he had
decided what was TO be done.

A very fine and nearly perfect
statue of the Empress Sabina, wife of
Hadrian, has been found near the newly
discovered arch at the capital city of the
island OF Thasos. The robe is very grace
full, the left hand bears large ring, the
face Is young and lovely. 1t is said to re-
semble other statues of Sabina very
slightly. The pedestal has curious in
scription from the senate of Thasos, "To
their mother Phloueibia Sabina, the most
worthy archpriestess of incompatible an
cestors, the first and only lady who had
ever received equal honors to those who
were In the Senate" Phloueibia is SUD-
posed to stand for Fulvia, and Fulvia to
be an alternate name for the Empress
who was usually called Julia Sabina.
